BLAXK LOTUS Edition "Shinigami: The Awakening" by Wetworks x ClogTwo X BLAXK
UPDATED: Having had the opportunity to see the resin figure up-close in person, is a vastly more fulfilling proposition than online, and the double-cast resin piece is clearly hauntingly gorgeous (like a whisper of a ghost - I've wondered if SHINIGAMI was a manifestation of death, or is its avatar? I never had the chance to ask...).
This edition features a GLOW IN THE DARK embedded lotus within its head (a reoccurring iconology ion Clogtwo's art). The mask in not removable (as per previous releases), and neither are there any articulation, but for the scythe accessory removable. Limited to only 50pcs (gasp), priced at SG$399 per. Do not expect this to be available when the show starts... but there's no harm in asking, cheers :)
There is a SECOND colorway to be released at a later date, featuring a very elegant teal GID, encased within the head. Meanwhile, here are more images of the piece - currently on display (taunting you!) at BLAXK
(PARTIAL) PRESS RELEASE: "The BLAXK-exclusive Shinigami: The Awakening - BLAXK Lotus features a double-casting treatment used for the first time on this figure, which results in a crystal-like Shinigami with an inlaid lotus within the figure’s head. The inlaid lotus glows in thedark, giving this Shinigami: The Awakening - BLAXK Lotus figure an otherworldly presence in a dim environment.
This eye-catching design highlights the spirit form of the Shinigami in its natural state, imbued with the wisdom of the lotus, which is often associated with spiritual awareness and attainment."
"Shinigami: The Awakening represents the continued evolution of Shinigami both as an artform as well as a character, showing us that the world of Shinigami continues to intrigue us creators and collectors alike. We are glad to find a partner in BLAXK by ActionCity who sees the same vision as we do. BLAXK by ActionCity is able to produce and bring to life this new ethereal form of Shinigami with the inlaid lotus, as well as create the dreamscape world within the gallery space, thus truly able to help us bridge Shinigami: The Awakening from imagination to reality."
